\\ \parbox{\linewidth}{\footnotesize \emph{Notes}: This table reports results for the statistical procedure of Table \ref{tab:index_components_baseline}, adding controls for pre-election outcomes in the estimation. We use as controls the value of the main outcomes for the pre-election year. When one control is missing, we set it to zero, and we include also in the list of controls a set of dummies equal to 1 if a control is missing.}
